Hello Everyone! I'm back! Well, at least I hope I am! I wasn't planning on taking this long of a break from posting, but the bookish motivation just wasn't there.

Hello Everyone! Today I'm sharing my February hopefuls list! I have eight books on my list this month and part of me is concerned that I may have over-committed myself. That being said, the weather has been awful, so maybe I'll spend a lot of time reading this month. I also think I might be okay since four of the books are physical books and the other four are eBooks, so I should be able to juggle multiple books at a time.
